The Sudanese Football Union grieves the passing of the esteemed journalist and accomplished photographer, the late Mr. Nameri Shalaby.
The news of his sudden demise in Khorfakkan, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, where he was working, has left hearts heavy and filled with profound sorrow.
A stalwart in sports, social, and artistic journalism, Shalaby was among the distinguished photographers of his generation.
He stood as a pillar in satirical journalism, displaying his talent through the long-running series of tales known as “Haj Nazariya” in various newspapers.
Despite residing abroad, his connection to Sudan, journalism, colleagues, and the profession remained unbroken.
He sustained continuous communication with everyone, sharing concerns about the industry.
The late journalist was recognized for his pleasant demeanor, amiable nature, and eloquent speech.
He collaborated harmoniously with his colleagues, preferring a reserved demeanor while possessing a keen wit and a journalist’s flair for storytelling.
